Now that all my initial six settlers have found their home, this is the situation:
I am worst in score: But I do not know what the others did to get to that score. But anyway, the demograph says I am rather good in some important disciplines: Especially the 1st place in GNP gives me hope for the Philosophy-->Republic slingshot... And I met the Americans!! I gave them Bronze working & Alphabet for Masonry & all of their gold (around 40) Most of the other players have Alphabet anyway and the Americans won't be a threat for Philosophy, so I gave it away... |

short update:
I have eight cities now. In three turns I'll have Code of Laws and hopefuly can get Philosophy in time for the Republic sling shot. The demographics say, I am doing rather well: I didn't meet anyone else so far. So it's just expanding for a while. EDIT: Ahh, I forgot Denyd was lucky and got an SGL. He used him to build the Pyramids. |

Well it's been ages since I've played Civ3 (SP & MP) but seeing the screenies makes me wanna get it out and play
Nice starting spot, lots of green, some cows and wheat, couldn't be better. So why are you building your cities so close to each other? Plan to keep em small or counting on a short game? And you can upload pics here as well in the attachment menu. We have heaps of server space so no need to use imageshack.

Well, actually I wanted to get a head start over my opponents to get to Republic. And it looks good so far. In about 4-5 turns I will know more.

Will post an update with the next save. Then I'll know whether I succeeded with the Philo --> Republic sling shot...

I didn't succeed with the Philo --> Republic slingshot. But as I always was number one in GNP, I don't think that anyone has got Republic. I started researching it on my own and will be finished in 13 turns, which gives me some more time to expand and be better prepared for Republic. Very soon I will have three 4-turn settler factories running and will expand very rapidly... As for the Americans...let them build some infrastructure and then I will run through them to get their luxuries... I just found the borders of the Koreans, another AI civ... |

In the meantime I researced Republic the old fashioned way. Now I am in Anarchy for another 5 turns I met denyd (Ottomans), who got an SGL veery early and rushed the Pyramids with him. He offered me Maths, Polytheism & Litereature for Republic. I accepted, but denied any long-term deals. I am planning to build lots of Dromons early on and then bring fire to my opponents, especially the Pyramids man. We'll see... |

I am now in Republic!
I met the English (Knutis) and the gave me Map Making for Iron Working & Horseback Riding. With the Ottomans I agreed on a trade Republic for Polytheism, Maths & Literature. So right now I continue to build settlers. And right after I got Literature, I will quickly build Libraries in all my core towns. In coastal towns I started habors, as I am planning to build a dromon fleet. Here are the demographics: |

And looking at your pics makes me wanna play CivIII again. The graphs are lot clearer imo. We need a 2D mod for C-IV
